What drives Cambodia's risk?

Cambodia's highest pressures are governance (72, high) and adaptation (71). Its strongest area is nature (29).

How might Cambodia's climate change by 2080?

Cambodia's climate zones stay broadly stable through 2080 even under a high-emissions scenario (SSP5-8.5); its Koppen-based climate-hazard pressure index holds near 76 out of 100. This forward-looking outlook is separate from the historical ND-GAIN scores.

How much will Cambodia warm by 2080?

Under a high-emissions scenario (SSP5-8.5), Cambodia is on track to warm by +2.9 °C by 2080, with annual precipitation changing by +91 mm; under lower emissions (SSP2-4.5) the warming is about +2.0 °C. Based on CMIP6 multi-model projections against a 1970-2000 baseline.

How much will sea levels rise along Cambodia's coast?

Coastal sea level along Cambodia is projected to rise by +0.77 m by 2100 under a high-emissions scenario (SSP5-8.5), and by about +0.55 m under lower emissions (SSP2-4.5). Based on the regional median of IPCC AR6 projections.

How will water stress change in Cambodia?

The share of Cambodia under high water stress is projected to move from 9.5% today to 9.5% by 2080 under a high-emissions scenario (SSP5-8.5). Based on WRI Aqueduct projections.

How will river-flood exposure change in Cambodia?

The share of Cambodia exposed to river flooding is projected to move from 6.5% today to 13% by 2080 under a high-emissions scenario (SSP5-8.5). Based on WRI Aqueduct riverine-flood projections.
